Volunteer Programs in Sacred Valley, Peru

Overall I had an amazing time at the jungle project from the people to the activities itself I have no bad words to say. Emily, Cristobal and Aldho were amazing and made the experience super enjoyable.

IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR PERSONAL GROWTH, EVERYONE IS VERY WELCOMING, KIND AND HELPFUL. IT WAS WONDERFUL SPENDING TIME WITH THE CHILDREN, HELPING THEM WITH THEIR HOMEWORK, AND PLAYING WITH THEM. I LOVED BEING HERE.

<we had a lot of fun working with the kids at our daycare placement. <also, the care and attention of the <maximo Nivel staff was top notch. <i had a minor illness while abroad and they got me all the treatment <i needed to be back on my feet in a day without missing my excursions.

I had a great time volunteering for this program. I did not know what to expect from Cusco and it was a cool way to throw myself out there and get out of my comfort zone. For people solo travelling alone, this program made it easy and comforting to do. I learned a lot and had lots of hands on experience.

it was an amazing experience, I had a great time and made many new meaningful connections that I never would have been able to make anywhere else. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience as it is truly eye opening and will change your life.

The whole city of Cusco along with the Volunteer Abroad doing construction was an experience I will never forget, and one that changed how I view everyday life. Looking at the lived experiences of individuals in Cusco and Peru as a whole really changed my perspective. Overall, doing construction, living in Cusco, and experiencing the culture was unforgettable.

We would spend the days doing often manual labour and venturing deep into the jungle to collect data, but we still had a lot of time to bond with other volunteers and the staff. Emily, Aldo and Cristobal were all very helpful and they really embodied genuine passion for the conservation of nature. I highly advise anyone interested to try the program, as you really begin to appreciate the Amazon and its importance

this was definitely one of the more interesting programs. I truly had such an amazing experience here. I think If i were going to recomend this program to someone, I would definitely say to bring a friend. when you are in a place where no one speaks english, it can feel quite isolating. but the people are so friendly and kind it will truly change your life.

I came into this volunteering program with scared feelings of what to expect. However, as time went on, I could not have had a better experience than I did. And If time allowed I would do it all over again a second time.

Volunteering was a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone was so friendly and super supportive. I never once felt unsafe or unsure of what to do. Working with local communities was great and they helped me practice my Spanish as I taught them English. Would recommend this experience to everyone and will for sure be coming back to volunteer through Maximo!

This experience was amazing and a once in a lifetime opportunity. We absolutely loved making connections and interacting with the children. Even the man in charge of Un Mundo Mejor was very welcoming and kind in showing us the ropes and helping us figure out our bus stop. This trip would not have ran so smoothly if it weren't for Maximo Nivel. They made it clear from the beginning that they valued our safety and experience within the program. I felt very safe and secure considering the fact that the employees of Maximo Nivel worked hard to ensure that we were provided with good food recommendations as well as information about where to get access to clean water and how to stay away from potential dangers. I am very grateful that we had a family at Maximo Nivel to come to in case we felt unsafe or had any questions or concerns. Overall, I really value my experience within the program and I am glad that I participated!

I had a wonderful time volunteering in Cusco! I worked in an after school program to support kids in need. I was able to provide emotional support, assist with homeowrk, and help with their English. Can not wait for my next opportunity!

I truly enjoyed the work I completed working on constructing a school and liked everyone I met. I loved how I got to see my contributions to the construction. It was extremely rewarding. I also enjoyed all of my free time exploring the city, nature, and Incan ruins.

Everyone was very supportive and welcoming. The school was amazing. Would recommend to others.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Monica's: Excellent host! Sweetest woman, genuinely cared for our well being, our time in Cusco. Food tasted great. Niko: Great projects manager! Nico made our trip to Peru a lot better with his recommendations and overall help adjusting. He made ahrd days @ the clinic feel light, helped bridge the language barrier - even though we didn't need it.

Monica was amazing! She was super welcoming, made good food, and even gave us salsa lessons. Making the experience more enjoyable: More instruction on the first day of clinic. Nico & Maximo Nivel were perfect - they were super helpful with all questions & needs we had. They were especially helpful when our coordinator didn’t know anything or communicate fully. Highly Recommend to others!

I absolutely loved this experience and all of the Maximo staff was so supportive and did a good job of fostering growth in our Spanish & medical skills throughout the week. Monica was a joy to stay with! I will say that the portions were not what we were used to, but I would recommend that you notify participants of what portions will be like so they can bring extra snacks if they want. Nico rocks and we love him! Thanks to everyone!! :)

Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful campaign. This trip felt very organised and any questions we had or help we needed were always answered / given. The only thing that I would have liked with the program is more information on the campaign and lodging details before arrival. Michael and Gina were amazing to work with and were a huge part of why the campaign was so great! They were both extremely kind and helpful and Michael gave amazing recommendations for where to go in Cusco after the campaign.

I came to Cusco, Peru with Maximo Nivel to volunteer in Construction. I spent my week here painting a beautiful little school that's currently being built by Volunteers and funded by Maximo too. I don't think I've ever painted so much, but it was such an amazing, fulfilling experience! I had amazing support from the International team at Maximo, and I got the best experience ever!

I spent a week teaching English in the middle of the Andes with Maximo Nivel. I taught at a small local school called Un Mundo Mejor in a small neighborhood on the outskirts of Cusco. It was such an amazing experience. Between the kids coming to class and the help from Maximo I always felt looked after and ready. 10/10
